Hey everyone,
I am very stuck on this problem. Have been working on it for a few days. I
have a PDF and what looks like a standard Adobe XMP annotations XML file. I
want to open the PDF with iText and put the annotations onto the pdf, and
save it to the file system. The annotations are what I call overlays. Say
there is a price for a product, one of our AP reps puts an annotation over
the price with the correct price. When they save it in the tool it saves the
regular PDF and the annotations XML file.
Below are my two examples. Any and all help is much appreciated! Thanks in
advance
--Ben
Try #1:
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\
00005CCB.pdf");
PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(reader, new
FileOutputStream("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\ben.pdf"));
File ssaFile = new File("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.xml");
FileInputStream ssaFIN = new FileInputStream(ssaFile);
byte ssaFileContent[] = new byte[(int)ssaFile.length()];
ssaFIN.read(ssaFileContent);
stamper.setXmpMetadata(ssaFileContent);
stamper.close();
Try #2:
Document document = new Document();
File pdfFile = new File("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.pdf");
File ssaFile = new File("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.ssa");
String outputFilename = "D:\\Temp\\Ann\\ben.pdf";
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new
FileOutputStream(outputFilename));
document.open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.getDirectContent();
PdfReader reader = new PdfReader("D:\\Temp\\Ann\\00005CCB.pdf");
int n = reader.getNumberOfPages();
PdfImportedPage page = null;
for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
document.newPage();
page = writer.getImportedPage(reader, i);
cb.addTemplate(page, 0, 0);
}
FileInputStream ssaFIN = new FileInputStream(ssaFile);
byte ssaFileContent[] = new byte[(int)ssaFile.length()];
ssaFIN.read(ssaFileContent);
writer.setXmpMetadata(ssaFileContent);
document.close();
